Plainview Kiwanis Club

The Plainview Kiwanis held their weekly meeting Thursday at the Plainview Country Club. Following the Pledge of Allegiance, Charles Lawson opened the meeting with prayer. Club members discussed plans for the upcoming barbecue sandwich fundraiser that generally coincides with the first Plainview High School home football game.

Mark Warren introduced the speaker, Gary Stennett, chairman of the board for RSVP, the Ready to Serve Volunteer Program. The local RSVP serves Hale, Floyd and Lamb counties and works with more than 40 non-profit groups.

Stennett said the RSVP is planning its annual Fool’s Cup Golf Tournament fundraiser that will take place July 25. The tournament raises money that RSVP uses to for its annual Breakfast with Santa Claus program and a program through which prison inmates are recorded reading books to their children.

The Fool’s Cup tournament uses a modified scoring format that includes lowball, alternate shot, ugly (using the worst shot as identified by your opponent), gross (total score), high ball and scramble formats. The tournament consists of two-person teams and costs $79.95 per person. There are also sponsorship opportunities, putting contests and others ways to win prizes and have fun while benefitting a worthy cause.

The Kiwanis Club meets each Thursday at noon at the Plainview Country Club.
